I am selling my car and I have for sale a complete Brembo Gran Turismo system (BIG RED BRAKE KITS) front and rear brakes for Mercedes Benz C-Class ( W203) and CLK (W209), including the AMG versions.

The specific kits are Brembo part numbers 1B1.8030A and 2C1.6009A. The brakes have approximately 10K miles on them and everything is in mint, impeccable condition.

Note: These kits may fit other applications as well, but I am not totally sure about the specifics. According to Brembo they would also fit the following models:

Front Brakes (Brembo part number 1B1.8030A):

Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Including AMG Front (W203), 2001 to 2007
Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Front (W209), 2003 to 2006
Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, Excluding AMG Front (W209), 2003 to present time
Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class, Excluding AMG Front (R171), 2004 to present time

Rear Brakes (Brembo part number 2C1.6009A):

Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Including AMG Rear (W202), 1994 to 2000
Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Including AMG Rear (W203), 2001 to 2007
Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Rear (W209), 2003 to 2006
Mercedes-Benz, CLK-Class, Excluding AMG Rear (W209), 2003 to present time
Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, Including AMG Rear (W208), 1998 to 2002
Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Including AMG Rear (W210), 1996 to 2002
Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class, Excluding AMG Rear (R171), 2004 to present time

Here’s the description from the manufacturer:

Brembo created the Gran Turismo line for their most demanding customers.
The kits include all the mounting components and hardware necessary to install it, specifically:

- Caliper brackets
- High-performance two-piece ventilated + drilled discs (355mm x 32mm front, 328mm x 28mm rear)
- Four-piston aluminum calipers with high-performance brake pads installed
- Nuts and washers
- Inlet adapter fitting (or banjo bolt)
- Copper sealing washers
- Stainless steel braided brake lines
- Bleeder hose
- Owner’s manual
- Bracket fixing schematic

I paid $6,500 for these Brembo Gran Turismo Kits and I am asking $4,900 (OBO). I am also including two (02) add’l, brand new, never used, sets of Brembo brake pads (one set for the front and one set for the rear). These pads retail for about $300 each (sometimes more), depending on where you buy them from, depending on sales tax, shipping costs, etc. So, altogether, with the above kits there’s an add’l $600 of Brembo brake pads being included in my ask price.

You can reach me at bayernstern@gmail.com with any questions. Location-wise, I am in San Jose, CA. Thanks!

Folks, I am traveling on business and will take me a few days to post the pictures (will do that as soon as I get back to town)... In the meantime, you can go to the Brembo website, enter the part numbers (search by code) and see pictures of everything (calipers, rotors, etc).

Step-by-step instructions of how to do that:

Go to http://www.brembo.com/ENG/

Click on HP brake upgrades (on the right of the page)

Click on Cars - Gran Turismo Line (on the left of the page)

Click on HP GT Catalogue (on the left of the page)

Click on Search by code (in the middle of the page)

In the field following Brembo Part Number, plug either one of the part numbers of my original posting (either 1B1.8030A or 2C1.6009A)

Click on the red colored part number (underneath Kit Part N)

Click on any one of the detail words to see the specifics (caliper, rotors, etc)

As stated, everything is in mint condition. Hope this helps!

Folks, I just got back from my business trip (due to customer-related issues, it got extended a lot more than what I anticipated...).

As promised, I am enclosing some pictures of the Brembos that are up for sale (as you can see, everything is in impeccable condition). Apologies for the low-resolution of the pictures (my digital camera just died and I used my camera-phone instead to avoid further delay in posting the pictures).


You can reach me at bayernstern@gmail.com with any questions (it's better to email me as I don't check my personal messages on here very often). Thanks!

bayernstern

Folks, I still have these brakes available... I paid $6,500 for them and they retail for $3,495.00 + $3,095.00 = $6,590.00 plus tax and/or shipping, depending on where you buy them from. I am willing to take $4,500 for them. Feel free to email me at: bayernstern@gmail.com with any questions. Thanks!

bayernstern

Folks, posting again to let you know that I've taken a further haircut price-wise... Now whomever comes up with $4,250 takes them. Thanks!

bayernstern

Folks, I've taken a further haircut price-wise...

If you live within driving distance from Northern California, you can pick them up for $4,000. That includes everything, i.e. $4k for complete front and rear Brembo Gran Turismo brakes, plus an extra $600 in (front/rear), new/never used, Brembo brake pads, plus the "brake sensor" plug (to "trick" the Mercedes dashboard from thinking that the pads are worn given that the Brembo brake pads do not have pad-wear sensors like the O.E.M. brake pads do). The Brembo manuals/instructions/booklets are included too. Everything is packed with Brembo's original packing materials.

If you need the brakes shipped, the price is now $4,250, including all the above plus shipping within the continental U.S. (that, of course, excludes Hawaii, Alaska, etc).

Altogether, I sincerely believe that this is a phenomenal deal by anyone's standards.

Thanks!

interested in the rear brakes... let me know if you want to sell it separately

Klinh

It a good deal if you compared it to a new set but it still alot hell expensive when compared to a used AMG 6/4 pistons kit. Good luck with the sell.

bayernstern

Folks, I paid $6,500 for these brakes and am throwing in an extra $600 in Brembo pads (for all four corners).

The brakes are in mint condition, never tracked, only used in highway driving for 10K miles (not even that). Everything is packed with Brembo's original packaging materials and the Brembo manuals/instructions are included too.

That said, of course, I cannot compete with salvaged O.E.M. brakes, tracked AMG calipers/rotors, incomplete brakes (with missing parts, brackets, hardware, etc), which is what some people sell out there (of course, before buying these Brembos I diligently looked into various options too)...

Reiterating, these brakes are complete with everything included, ranging from calipers, to (rotor) hats, to rotors, to pads (plus an extra set), to brackets, to hardware, to brake wear sensor, to manuals/instructions.

On a last note, I would prefer not to separate the brakes, hence my offering a sweet price for everything.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks again!

If you're interested in stopping your car faster, and not experiencing brake fade, then the Brembo GTs are worth every penny they cost. Simply stated, they work better and are significantly lighter than the factory parts - which means less unsprung weight and superior handling.

I already got my front brembo GT thats why I only need the rear one...
let me know if you change your mind

thx!

Dr.Fox

bump for some nice brakes!

tokyo0one

if youre willing to sell all the rotors separately let me know!

bayernstern

Hi there, thanks for asking... These are mint brakes in original Brembo packaging. At the moment, I'm not interested in separating the pieces or breaking up the kits. Thanks again.

hyper_tune77

Interested with the rears as well..

bayernstern

Zack, thanks for the post.

Somehow, I'm getting a lot of interest on the rear brakes. My tally is that 6 to 7 people have ping me about them across a couple different M-B enthusiast sites.

Question: anyone on here interested in the front ones (by themselves)?

If I get to sell the front ones (by themselves) first, then I'd be open to selling the rear ones subsequently to someone else...

Thanks again and have a good weekend.

mk4mike

With that said, if the front sell how much can you let the rears go if i collect them?

bayernstern

Let me sell the front ones first and then, based on the outcome, I'll decide how much to ask for the rear ones... That said, it seems that I will need to ask less for the front ones and more for the rear ones (simply given the levels of interest that each one of them are commanding at the moment). Thanks again and have a good week.

wirokeren

how much are u looking for the front ones? might be interested in the front ones

hyper_tune77

great.. wirokeren will take the fronts.. I'll take the rears then...

I think its due to the fact most people upgrade there front brakes first and then if they stumble upon rears that will work they figure why not. I am interested in the rears just because I have already done my fronts so if you can add me to the list of people in line for them that would be great. Also give me a estimated price you would be looking at for them. In reality fronts are more expensive then rears but your flip flopping it due to high demand. GLWS and keep me in mind with the rears.

Folks, I am in the process of moving to the East Coast and will be taking the brakes with me if they do not sell here in California. For locals, this is your last chance to get these awesome Brembos without shipping costs. Let me know if anyone on here is seriously interested. Thanks!

bayernstern

Folks, my final moving is scheduled for next Tuesday (05/25/2010). After then, the Brembos will be available in the East Coast. If anyone in the West Coast is interested, this would be a good time to make a move. Thanks!
